The work

The work

The tasks come from O*NET (United States) and ESCO (Europe), the world's two occupation databases. How the work is done can differ in Uganda; our team adds the local way where it does.

  1. 1

    Design complex graphics and animation, using independent judgment, creativity, and computer equipment.

  2. 2

    Create two-dimensional and three-dimensional images depicting objects in motion or illustrating a process, using computer animation or modelling programs.

  3. 3

    Make objects or characters appear lifelike by manipulating light, colour, texture, shadow, and transparency, or manipulating static images to give the illusion of motion.
